About this home
For the sportsman, this is the position you build a life around. The property sits steps from Deshka Landing, the closest of the three Susitna River public launches to Anchorage, at roughly an hour and a half out. The water is a two-minute walk. From your own front door, the river becomes the road -- north to Denali, west into the vast and roadless Western Mat-Su backcountry, and onto some of the most productive salmon water in Southcentral Alaska.
This is the rare place where the fishing and the hunting are not a destination you drive to, but a lifestyle you step into. Kings and silvers run the Susitna and the Deshka within minutes of the dock. Beyond the launch, the entire wild west side of the Susitna opens up -- moose, bear, and waterfowl across hundreds of thousands of acres reachable by boat and, in winter, by the frozen river itself. Few properties in the Valley offer this combination of serious wilderness access and genuine, practical convenience.
The home is its own reward at the end of the day. Roughly 2,000 square feet of fully custom, handcrafted construction by a single owner-builder, with a grand double-height ceiling and craftsmanship in every detail -- cedar ceilings, antler latches from the owner's own hunts, and thoughtful custom storage throughout. A woodstove anchors the open kitchen and heats the home with ease, backed by a Toyo for effortless year-round or seasonal use. A built-in table extends from the bar, sized for a full moose hunt's worth of processing or a long family dinner. The lofted primary retreat upstairs includes a soaking tub tucked behind a half-wall -- the right kind of luxury after a day on the water.
With the outbuildings, the property sleeps roughly ten. A lofted den, a full spare bedroom, and a detached dry cabin with two more bedrooms host friends and family with ease. The 900-square-foot garage is built for a boat or small RV and the gear that follows. Outside, a wood-fired sauna, firepit, and paved walkway round out the camp.
The community is part of the value. Longtime neighbors, many here twenty to forty years, look after one another and the land without intrusion. The Iditarod passes through, the Northern Lights perform overhead, and Denali greets you from the top of the stairs each morning. A local store and sandwich shop sit just down the highway, with Wasilla a short drive for everything else.
This is wilderness access with a home worth coming back to. To arrange a private showing, contact your Alaska real estate licensee of choice - and don't forget to ask for the feature video, if it's not displayed on the portal you are using....
